1.) What criteria (data points) were the NOAA buoys collecting to address the sub-problems faced by Cleveland Water? Which of these criteria should have highest priority when determining a solution to the sub-problems? 2.) What societal, ecological, or technical constraints should resource managers consider before proposing solutions?

3.) Describe the design solution engineers and scientists developed to prevent contamination of Cleveland drinking water. Why did their solution need to address both sub-problems equally?

4.) Propose two additional solutions to address the ecological phenomena causing the water contamination in Lake Erie.

condensation. good luck!

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
